I've noticed the liberal media is pretty big on the 'fat rights' bandwagon right now. I imagine its profitable considering the number of fat people in the US and fits in with the largely SJW editorial narrative bias the press is fond of. As a chronically 25-50lbs overweight person with knee problems, just dropping 10lbs was like night and day for me. Suddenly my feet and knees didn't hurt as much and I felt and slept so much better. There's an ugly narrative here that few press outlets want to sell because I imagine fat rights groups will be offended, but there's a real personal responsibility argument with weight that too often gets brushed under the carpet. Victimization naratives are popular now and get significant ad impressions. Consider the two headlines, which one will get you more clicks? "Doctors biased against the fat patients; thin patients treated better" or "Losing weight is your responsibility when it comes to your health." Obviously, the former will get all the clicks. I really hope fat rights groups and the liberal media stop with these narratives. Losing weight isn't terribly difficult if you actually care about your health. Its a small investment that significantly pays off. Yes, I get a little offended when my doctor brings it up, but he's right every time. When my weight hits a certain number, my body just falls apart. Suddenly sleep apnea kicks in, I'm sore all the time, I get winded easily, and my back and knees hurt. We shouldn't be fighting against this kind of advice. Its still good and often life-changing advice. Sadly, this forum being mostly millennials means the comment section is leftist victimization responses straight out of /r/fatlogic. I pity the generation growing up with a 'no one is ever at fault' and 'personal responsibility doesn't exist' philosophy. Its a disservice to them and ruins lives.
